Wood and Tatting

-

My Christmas present was finished yesterday, well my second Christmas present as the first was taken away to London by my son!  This wooden lego man stands 45 cm tall and is quite heavy.




Here he is wearing a tatted necklace










A closer view of the necklace







I am very pleased with the way the necklace turned out and will be making more when I can find the pattern that I very quickly wrote out.

    He's gorgeous! - and I love the necklace, he will be the perfect tatting model, and he is the strong and silent type.

    He's so 'Majestic' looking! Just marvelous! So much talent displayed here! If word gets out about the Lego men, your husband may be inundated with orders! Hope this one stays with you!

    The necklace is gorgeous - wonderful design!

      Thanks Kathy, these lego men take ages to make and use a lot of wood, so we are not planning on selling them. Similar ones have been seen and go for hundreds of pounds, at the moment they are members of the family!

      Actually I have to admit Michelle it looks stunning on me! When I have found and written the pattern out properly I will definitely share it, might not be for a few weeks though!

      Oh Funny Sue!!! That is a really kind offer to test tat it for me, especially as I am rubbish at writing out patterns, even though I have a great person to guide me!!! Let me find where I have put the scribbled out pattern first!!

100th Blog Anniversary

To celebrate my 100th post and to thank all of you out there who have been so supportive to me and "I'm in the garage" over the past 17 months, we are giving away two prizes, each comprising of a hand made tatting shuttle.  One will be a Pop-A-bobbin shuttle and the other will be a post shuttle.  So there will be two winners.  The shuttles will be put in one of these specially decorated boxes. It is good to win something you really want, and some of you prefer using a post shuttle rather than a shuttle with a bobbin.  So in order for that to happen you have the option to choose which type of shuttle you would like and which box.  So when you comment please put either "Post" for Post shuttle or "Pop" for Pop-A-bobbin shuttle.  However, if you don't mind which shuttle, you will have a double chance to win, as your entry will be put in for both, so in that case please do not put a preference. As for the box, if you have a preference for the colour the...

I finished this doily a few days ago but I am actually not that happy with it, the thing is the  piece really needs damping, blocking and a good press.  This should not be needed but I think some parts of the pattern did not work that well.  I have used three makes of thread on this doily Manuela, Coats and Lizbeth all 20.

Today is quite special for many reasons it is Advent Sunday in the Church.  Advent is a term from the Latin word 'adventus' which means "arrival".  It is a time of waiting for the arrival of Christmas and is associated mainly with Advent Calendars and in particular the fun of opening to see what is revealed behind each number!  Whilst in Scotland the people are celebrating St. Andrew's day as he is the Patron Saint of Scotland.  Google has marked the day with a doodle of the Flying Scotsman - the world famous steam locomotive. However,  here on this blog there is a special giveaway.  Please leave a comment if you would like the chance of winning the shuttle and thread holder (please note this does not include the piece of wood underneath or the foliage), you have until 3rd December when I will announce the winner by using a random number generator. The shuttle is made out of sequoia,  the tree that the wood comes from stands in front of the ...
